Special character translation

K

Ken

I uploaded some MP3 files from my MP3 player to my HD.
When the CD or track titles contained special characters
they were replaced with strings such as %3a
All the characters have the percent sign in the translation

I can find all these files searching for *%*. Is there a
tools that will allow me to find and replace strings in file
names for multiple files (batch mode?) I hope it's not
command line stuff.

Note that if you write a JScript script you can use the "unescape" method to
convert the strings beginning with % to their unescaped equivalents. For
example "%3a" is ":" (colon).
